SCARLET’s POV.I shuddered in his embrace the moment he said those words. Part of me wanted to believe him because of the dangerous and terrifying feeling that settled in the pitch of my stomach but then again, he could be lying. I mean who would announce that he went om a killing spree just like that? Maybe he was trying to scare me or trying to make me forget about how he disappeared the night before.At the thought of that, I rolled my eyes“I am sorry Mr Fenrir but you do not scare me” I blurted and watched how his brows furrowed together, “a lot happened yesterday night and it seemed like you are not going to tell me anything. I am not going to force you but I will not stay in this house on my own. Either I come with you or I go back to the place I call home”For a moment he was silent, his gaze on me. How I wish i could decipher what was going on in his head but this man was so thick skinned, i couldn’t even read his facial expressions.“Fine then” he finally spoke up, “get dres
ADONIS’s POV.Even when I kissed her, she didn’t pull away from me but I could see the look in her eyes. She was struggling to understand what was happening, she was struggling to understand what I was doing and I loved that. I loved the fact that I had her spellbound to me, it would be easier to make her into what I want her to be. The thought of it made me pull her closer again and run my fingers through her lips, her body shuddering in my embrace.“What are you doing, Mr Fenrir?” She finally found her voice, “what is happening?”“You are not particularly pushing me off” I answered with a wink, “if for anything, you look like I you want more of it”That must have done the trick because she immediately pushed me off and abruptly stood up. Scarlet was clearly gushing, I could see it.“What exactly do you think you are doing, Mr Fenrir?” She flared up, “how dare you kiss me like that? Is this why you called yourself my guardian? Now I am convinced that you are a pervert, a pedophile, a
SCARLETT’s POV,I was so confused as Mr Fenrir continued to drive towards the said destination. The name Fiona kept ringing in by head but I couldn’t place it. All I wanted to do was just go home and try to decipher everything that was happening and now.I turned my head towards him but his expression remained unreadable. I couldn’t point out what was going on in his head, I couldn't place it. That feeling was still hanging in the pit of my stomach, I wanted to get rid of it but I couldn’t. The fact that I knew something was wrong but I couldn't place it, it made me feel so anxious and scared. It felt like my future was bleak, it felt like everything was going to go wrong.I let out a heavy sigh and combed my hair with my fingers.“Can you at least tell me who this Fiona person is, Mr Fenrir?” I could no longer hide the desperation in my voice, “please”“Someone dear to you” he answered, a smile finally creeping up on his face.“If she was someone dear to me, i should definitely reme
ADONIS’s POV..As soon as I entered my room, I slumped on the ground and buried my face in my head. I didn’t want to feel guilty about it but seeing how sad the litle girl looked, it broke my heart into a thousand pieces and even Scarlett, she cursed me like i was the worst person on earth. Well, i deserved it, i was definitely the worst person because no sane man goes around killing people at will.I balled my hands into a fist and clenched my jaw together, it was all her fault, that danmed goddess. If she knew I would turn out to be a maniac, why did she allow me be born? She should have taken my life the moment I was conceived but no, she wanted to punish me and derive pleasure in that. “It is all your fault, Adonis” her voice filtered through and u rose my head to meet her gaze. She was standing near the window, her glory cascading over her body.“You didn’t even spare a child” I gritted.“You didn’t spell a child, Adonis” she retorted, “you have never been a good person so you d
SCARLET’s POV.I didn’t know how I even allowed Ashley to talk me into doing this but here I was kissing a total stranger because I wanted him to find Fiona’s culprit. The fact that I actually enjoyed kissing him baffled me, I shouldn’t enjoy it or even want it but sadly I did and a part of me broke down when I pulled away from him, his gaze not leaving mine for even a second.“What did you just do, little fox?” Me Fenrir asked, his brows furrowing together.“Isn’t this going to make you agree to my terms?”“Just a kiss?” A sly smirk appeared on his lips, “did the person who put you up to this not give you a proper orientation?” The smirk on his face widened, “you think only a kiss will make me want to look for that bastard?”“So what must I do then?” I asked him, “I cooked for you even if I don’t know how to cook and I promise not to think weirdly about you anymore, what else must I do to show you my sincerity?”“What do you think you should do, Scarlett?” He inquired again, “usuall
SCARLETT’s POV,The bell went and I finally closed my book. I was already getting tired of the lecture since it was a revision of what we had done for the semester.My mind drifted off to Mr Fenrir and I heaved a sigh, I haven’t seen him since he dropped me off at Maria’s yesterday and he left rather hurriedly, a gesture that made me somewhat upset. I thought he was going to maybe stay a while and just. Was I actually missing him right now? Did I want to see him? Why did my whole body tingle at the thought of him?My thoughts were interrupted when a hand prodded me and Maria’s face came into view, she had a huge grin on her face.“Did you enjoy the class that much?” I couldn’t help but ask her.“Of course not” she rolled her eyes, “how about we grab some pizza from Starbucks and you can tell me all about Mr hottie that dropped you off in front of the house”I heaved a sigh, she has been asking about Mr Fenrir for a while now but I purposely refused to tell her anything because I wasn
SCARLET’s POV,None of us said anything to each other again until he pulled up in front of the house and I quickly alighted before making my way towards the house. I wanted to get as far away from him as possible, and going into the house was the best way for her to do that.The moment I entered my room and slammed the door shut, i Slumped on the bed, my heart beating fast against her rib cage. Why did I do it, why did i tell him that I actually missed him? I should have kept it to myself . Why the hell was I even missing him?A knock on the door jolted me out of my thoughts and I raised my head to meet his gaze.Mr Fenrir was leaning on the door, his gaze on me for the longest of time.“Why are you staring at me like that?” I couldn’t help but ask him.“Can’t I look at you?” He inquired, “you are directly in front of me”“You shouldn’t be here, Mr Fenrir”He didn’t even look like he was listening to what I had to say because he began to take slow steps towards me, his gaze on me.
ADONIS’s POV.Walking out of the room, the smirk on my face disappeared and the image of her confused face settled somewhere in my head.She looked so confused when I kissed her and when I told her to fall in love with me, I mean I would also be dumbfounded if the reverse was the case but right now that’s the only thing I could do. To make her mine and rid myself of this curse. Truth be told, I could already taste the sweet taste of victory at the tip of my tongue.She was seated on my bed when I walked into my bed and I was not surprised, she had become a frequent guest ever since I brought scarlett to the house.“Something tells me that you are beginning to love my company, goddess” I said, “you do not miss a chance to meet this unworthy subordinate of yours”“That might be true” she said, “but I want to be actively involved in everything about that child. She is a human after all and I can do little about her she warms my heart”I turned to her for a split second.“You know you can
SCARLETT’s POV.Three years later.I ventured into the office, Alexander beside me briefing about the meeting ahead. I had just taken Jayden to his daycare and I had a very important meeting today. After that, I will take him to visit his father‘s grave. Yes, Ashley told me that they don’t perform funeral’s for their kind but I can’t let the memory of Adonis just fade away like that so I decided to create a special space for the three of us, a place where I can go to see him, a place I can go to speak to him please so I can tell him about his lovely son.Believe me, the past three years have not been easy without Adonis and Ashley here. Last year, Ashely died from an accident. It hurt me but I didn’t show it. I knew it was his time to die but he couldn’t even live to enjoy his new relationship with her.I shook my head to remove such thoughts. I was tired of being sad and disappointed in the universe for taking the people I love away from me and I was not going to do that anymore. I
ASHELY’s POV.If I was a minute late she would have been badly hurt. She didn't even move as I tried to attack her. She just kept looking like just waiting for them to finally kill her off. If I was just one minute late I didn't know how I would have explained to Adonis that I let his woman die.I pulled her into my embrace and moved her from the road. As soon as her attackers saw me they all froze, they didn't expect him to show up at that particular time. Thank the moon goddess I was fast enough to get here before they would have decimated her body into tiny pieces.” What the heck do you think you're doing? I asked the lot of them, "How dare you think you're gonna do that to her?” I yelled at all of them as I continued to glare at them.How did they think they could hurt her?“She fucking killed Adonis” one of them snapped in anger, “ she put a dagger through his chest without even asking permission from any of us. Who told her she had the right to take his life? We would have fo
SCARLET’s POV.My eyes opened up, and I pulled myself into a sitting position, the memory of what happened a while back, becoming fresh in my head. I genuinely didn’t want to wake up from sleep. I didn’t want to remember the fact that I will never be able to see him again. He left for good and I was the one who killed him. I put a fucking dagger through his chest and I watched him die. That was the least I could do for him. I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore, I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine when it was not. It was all because of me, it hurts so much to see him in that state, but it hurts more not to see him beside me holding onto me, cuddling me, calling me sweet names and telling me how much he loves me.I sat in my thoughts for minutes until my door pushed open and Ashley sauntered in looking like a shadow of his former self, his eyes red and puffy. He looked so sad that my heart wrenched in pain, I knew he adored Adonis. I knew he treated him like a brother and I kn
SCARLETT’s POV..“You can not save him” the lady continued to say, her hold on my neck becoming more and more intense like she wanted to sniff the life out of me and make me a corpse.I tried pushing her off but I was not as strong as i wanted, she was clearly much stronger than me.“For how long will you let him suffer?” She asked me again; her gaze darkening, “how selfish can you be? He is suffering and you care about your stupid love?”“I am looking for ways to keep him alive” I managed to say, still trying to remove her hands off my neck.“The more time you waste, the more time his chance of reincarnation depletes”“What?” My eyes opened wide for a moment, “can he be born again?”“Not if you keep making him lose his powers every time, scarlet. Kill him and rid him of all the pain and suffering he is going through. You are the only person who can keep him safe, the only person who can get rid off the curse for him”She finally let go of my neck and I fell to the ground, wincing in
ADONIS’s POV.“You are not healing, Adonis” Ashly said as he dabbed my side with a white towel.“I will be fine” I muttered even though I knew I was lying to myself. I wouldn’t be able to heal anymore, I couldn’t even feel my own energy anymore. Everything has changed and I knew it, my Lycan was slowly losing its powers and it was my fault. I fucking fell in love when I shouldn’t have.“You are losing a lot of blood, Adonis,” Ashely told me again as he continued dabbing my side with a towel. I was wounded by a mere wolf last night and thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but scoff. How dare a mere wolf stand in front of me? How dare a mere wolf bare its fang at me and hurt me. I ended up killing it but even at that, it still hurt my ego that a mere wolf would hurt me in such a way and I wouldn't be able to do anything.“I will be fine,” I told him, “there is nothing you can do about it anyways.“I have called a pack doctor and she will be here soon to stitch your wounds”“Hmm” I no
I opened my eyes gently and the whiff of blood in the air greeted me. Groaning softly, I tried pulling my body to a sitting position but a hand stopped me. I turned my head towards him and I saw Adonis, an expressionless look on his face.“You are awake” his voice came out in almost a whisper, he looked like he had been crying or something like that.“Are you okay?” I managed to ask him when he helped me pull my body to a sitting position.“Yes” he tucked a few strands of my hair to the back of my ear, “I was just scared that you got into that accident, I shouldn’t have given you the car keys, I shouldn’t have allowed you to drive babe….” His voice trailed off as he held onto my hand gently, “I am so sorry princess, you are in this situation because of me.“You don’t look okay, Adonis” I reached out for his hand, “what happened?”One thing I have come to understand about this man is the fact that he could hide his emotions pretty easily but there is always that flicker in his eyes, th
ADONIS’s POV.I sat in silence as I continued to watch her slurp on her ice cream in silence. She looked so beautiful with her head down like that, one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen and I admire her so much.She tried as much as possible to help me and even went to the moon goddess. What surprised me the most was the fact that goddess Selene even agreed to meet her. Scarlett must really have a special place in her heart or she might just be keeping an eye on her.My phone beeped jolting me out of my thoughts and when I saw it was Ashely on the line, my countenance immediately changed.“What do you want?”“Can we meet up?” He asked me.“I don’t think you should want to meet me right now, Ashely. Severing your head from your body is still on the list of things I wanna do so you better stay away from me for the time being.“Please, Adonis….“I am fucking serious” I growled in anger before ending the call and slamming the phone on the table.“What happened?” Scarlett asked
SCARLETT’s POV.We both laid in bed, his hand snaked around my waist and my naked body pulled against his. My cheeks flushed just thinking about the most amazing moment we have just had. The best sex I have ever had and it was with fhs man I loved with everything I have ever got.“You know you could get pregnant right?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Hmm” I nodded, “I am well aware of that”“And still..,“I want to have your baby” I cut him off, “we lost our babies once and I don’t want to miss an opportunity to get another”“But you know I won’t be here..,.” I could hear the panic and the pain in his voice as he said those words, I sniffed not wanting to allow the tears to fall. I was well aware of this and it hurt me so much, so much that I wished I could take his place.“Even though you won’t be here, you will be watching us from afar and taking care of us right?”I wanted to make the atmosphere as warm as possible, I didn't want him to feel any ounce of pain or pressure
SCARLETT’s POV..“No” I half yelled as I jumped off the bed, “I am not going to put a fucking dagger in your chest”How could he even ask this of me? How could he look into my eyes and ask me to put a fucking dagger in his chest? How would I even be able to weild a dagger against him. My heart broke as his words continued to echo in my head.“I am not going to fucking do that” I spit in anger before slamming the bathroom door shut.I slumped on the ground as hard bitter tears rolled out of my eyes.I wasn’t even over our baby’s death yet and he was already asking me to kill him? Did he want to leave that bad? Was he so tired of me?“Baby?” His voice called out to me, just outside the door, “I know you can hear me”“Go away” I hissed, “I am not in the mood to talk to you. How could you ask that of me? How could you ask me to kill you”“Sooner or later, you would have to do that, scarlet” I heard him also slump on the ground too, his back ti the wall.“You and I know we can’t keep me a
